"Who is coming?"

"Come on the list!"

"Stand there, don't move!"

"We're welcome to go further!"

"Where are you two, can't you hear me?"

"Can it be deaf?"

"It may also be blind!"

"How can a blind man ride a horse? He's just a fool!"

...

The guards guarding the city saw a man and a woman coming from a distance, and shouted loudly and muttered in a low voice.

"Who do you think is blind?" Tong Tong turned over and got off the horse and asked, pulling the guard closest to him.

"It's not what I said, it's him!"

"It's not me, it's him!"

"It's him, it has nothing to do with us."

...

When the guards saw the people who were irritable, they all pointed at each other timidly, wanting to keep themselves safe and unwilling to share their worries for their companions.

Before the guards checked their identities, the closed city gate slowly opened. Shen Yien walked out with a smile, "Three brother, long time no see!"

"It's been half a day. Brother Ben, why did you come out? Did you invite us to be rejected?" Tongtong's tone was full of complaints. She and Shen Yishuo were staying in the military tent safely. With just one invitation from someone in front of her, they had to go all the way. The guards scolded him for being deaf and blind, which made Tongtong angry.

"I only invite my third brother. Who asked you to follow me? I have to join in the fun!" Shen Yien was also very unfriendly to Tongtong.

"Three brother, he scolded me! Look at him, Ji'er changed her appearance after marrying him. I really regretted joining him with my sister." Tongtong's face was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and pointed at Shen Yien with the other hand and complained.

"Who told you to follow me is just boring!" Shen Yishuo also took advantage of the situation.

"Okay, okay, you are brothers, I am just an outsider. I think I'd better shut up. Just think I don't exist, hum!" Tongtong glanced at Yien fiercely.

"Three brother, please come in there!" Shen Yien wanted to talk further with Shen Yishuo.

"Have you been in the city recently...has you been in the city?" Shen Yishuo didn't move. While asking questions, he carefully examined his fourth brother's expression.

"To be honest, I came to Qiuchi just yesterday." Although Shen Yien was a little haggard, he was still very happy when he saw Shen Yishuo coming as promised.

"Is Mother Zhuang good? Are you in the city too?" Shen Yishuo turned over and dismounted, approached Shen Yien and whispered indifferently.

"Thank you for your concern for your third brother. My mother is still in Jinge." Shen Yichen secretly came to Qiuchi without telling her father-in-law, just to meet Shen Yishuo.

"The Empress Zhuang did not come? Then Ji'er did not come either?" Tongtong left Jin Ge after Ji'er got married to Shen Yien.

"Do you want to accompany your third brother, or do you want to accompany Ji'er?" Shen Yien said angrily. To be honest, he hoped that Ji'er could keep a little distance from Tongtong, because Ji'er was too simple and naive. Compared with this, Tongtong has been in the world for many years and has a strong banditry.

"What's wrong with me thinking about my sister?" Tongtong couldn't help but retort.

"Didn't you say shut up? Why are you still so noisy?" Shen Yishuo choked Tongtong with nothing to say.

"Brother Third, I have something to discuss, please!" Shen Yien invited again.

Shen Yishuo nodded and responded while walking towards the city. Every time he took a step, Tongtong was extremely worried, fearing that the guards would ambush the city and capture them.

"Three Brother, are you worried?" Shen Yien brought Shen Yishuo alone to the government office and set up a banquet, wanting to welcome his third brother, and at the same time, he found someone to look at Tongtong and arranged for him to rest in the inn.

"Didn't the fourth brother have something to discuss?" Shen Yishuo did not answer the question positively, but instead cared about his fourth brother.

"To be honest, I just want to prove that my father... has really died?" Shen Yien heard the guards in the tribe whispering, saying that the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty was empty, and it was simply a helping hand to send troops to the expedition.

"Fourth brother, listen to what your father-in-law said?" Shen Yishuo's face showed a congestion.

"No, I eavesdropped on it. I think my father-in-law intended to hide it from me." Shen Yichen looked sad. Although he had guessed the truth, he still persuaded himself not to believe it. "Is the father still leaving peacefully?"

"Well, I haven't suffered any pain, I've been buried in peace. I covered my father's dirt for my fourth brother and lit a lamp." Shen Yishuo went to Tianshen Temple to worship incense and pray for the eternal lamp.

"Actually, what I should have guessed before I got married with Ji'er was just that I was blinded by happiness at that time. Alas~ besides the big thing like my father's critical illness, what else can I have to hurry back with my third brother?" Shen Yien's words were full of frustration and annoyance.

"Fourth brother..." Shen Yishuo called out even more.

"Did your father mention me? Have you ever blamed me for not being able to go back?" Shen Yien asked with tears in his eyes.

"Fourth brother, don't be sad. If your father sees you like this, you will feel distressed." Shen Yishuo had red eyes and patted Shen Yien's shoulder to comfort him.

"If I had known it before... I would have gone back with my third brother..." Shen Yien regretted it very much.

"Actually, I couldn't see my father for the last time. Not only the fourth brother, but even Nuan'er, Kuan'er, and Xu'er, as well as the eldest sister and the prince." Shen Yishuo said truthfully. After asking Eunuch Su, he learned that the predecessor had issued an order before his death that no one would see him.

"Are you afraid that the elder sister will get angry, so everyone hides it from her? What about the others? Why are they guarding their father and not meeting them yet..." Shen Yien has been away from the imperial capital for half a year and is even more isolated from Tianfu City. He has no idea about Shen Yizhao's disappearance.

"The father was in a hurry and made an order, so he stayed in the door!" Shen Yishuo nodded confidently, and he could not guess what the last emperor was thinking.

"Father is kind, I must be afraid that everyone will be sad." Shen Yien's tears still couldn't stop flowing down.

"Well, I want to leave a good impression on us!" Shen Yishuo followed Shen Yien's words, just trying to comfort the people in front of me, but in fact no one knew the reason for what the emperor thought and did.

"I really regret not being able to go back with my third brother." Shen Yien emphasized again.

"Even if I go back, I can't catch up with my father's burial, so... I won't regret it for the fourth brother." Shen Yishuo used his example just to make Shen Yien feel at ease.

"We'll go back a few days earlier... I can get married whenever I get married... I really didn't expect... my father would leave so urgently!" Shen Yien said intermittently.

"Can you wait, can King Jinge wait? Can Ji'er wait?" Shen Yishuo asked, "Besides, even Mother Zhuang hopes that you can get married soon. She has such severe eye disease, so she can't wait for a moment."

"My mother is completely blind!!!" Shen Yien said the more she cried, the sadder she felt.
